1N5365CE3/TR12

Overview

The Microchip Technology 1N5365CE3/TR12 is a silicon 5-watt Zener diode from the JEDEC registered 1N5333-5388B series. It provides voltage regulation at a nominal Zener voltage of 36 V with a tight tolerance of ±2%. The device operates in an ambient temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and features a T-18 axial lead package. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse current of 0.5 µA and a dynamic impedance of 11 Ohms.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable voltage regulation across a broad operating current and temperature range
• Features flexible axial-lead mounting terminals for through-hole integration
• Withstands high surge stresses and exhibits minimal changes in voltage versus current
• Constructed with void-free transfer molded thermosetting epoxy meeting UL94V-0 standards

Applications

• Voltage regulation circuits requiring 5-watt power dissipation
• High current applications with adequate heat sinking
• General purpose protection against voltage spikes

Procurement Notes
